Signage has gone up in the former Paolo’s space at N and Wisconsin. It indicates that a new restaurant called High Street Cafe will be moving in. It is described as a “Georgetown Brasserie”.

The name would suggest vaguely French, but it’s also the type of descriptor people place on any sort of restaurant that could just as easily be called a “pub” or “eatery”. The High Street name is a nod to Wisconsin Ave.’s former name. That’s a nice touch.

As GM mentioned earlier, this restaurant will not occupy the corner property, which used to be also occupied by Paolo’s. Will it be any good? We’ll see…
